What does 'accreditation' mean?
Accreditation is increasingly sought after in the coaching industry – particularly from departments responsible for coaching procurement. With no formal regulation in the industry, there is a need for coaches to demonstrate credibility and provide reassurance. Accreditation provides this.
After completing and graduating from one of the AoEC’s accredited diploma training programmes, you are on your way to becoming a qualified coach.
Offering new graduates accreditation with the AoEC for one year which can be renewed for a fee after 12 months, we can also further support you in choosing the accrediting body which best suits you and your specific needs going forward. Find out more here.
